I have been completely exhausted all day. I had hoped to get some work done but that just wasn't happening. I sat in my studio, stared a blank canvas for 20 minutes and then went to bed and took a 2 hour nap.

I have learned the hard way that when I feel this tired it is futile to try and work in the studio. Usually I end up just making a big mess and getting angry and frustrated. It is better to wait until I am more awake, so instead I answered all my email, unpacked my cases, emptied the dishwasher and did a bunch of little things around the house so that way tomorrow will be a clear day to get some real work done. Hopefully by then, I will be more perky and all the travel exhaustion will have gone away!

Pushing Daises is on and I am DVRing it so Paul and I can watch when he gets home. I hope it's as good as last weeks' show.

Hello Claudine,I took your Magazine Alterology class at Art and Soul and loved it. I am really hooked on making those backgrounds! This is all new to me and I want to thank you for teaching me about collage as well. On top of all of that, you just couldn't be any cuter or nicer! Thanks a bunch.

I had a blast at the whole Art & Soul retreat but your Magazine Alterology class gave me alot of new ideas and information. I now wont be handing off my magazines to family since I do have a valid use to keep them. My brain is still on over load and my body is just trying not to fall over. Though I would do the whole thing again, in a heart beat.

Hope you feel more rested tomorrow so your creativity can continue to flow. I know exactly how you feel, I get that way too and have all my supplies out and just walk away upset, must be an artist thing ;) Anyways take it easy!
